LMDJ is making a farewell album to Brian

Im reposting an announcement from La Maison de Joubert, because it might be interesting for our members too.

//ACTION//Dear friends !New, 2014 year came. Time runs so fast... The Olympic Games in Sochi will be the last competition in Brian Joubert’s career. We knew about it, preparing together with him, but still sad to write and think about it. We don’t know what will happen at these Games. Of course, all of us will worry about Brian and support him, wishing him successful skating and hoping for a medal! And we can make him a gift, specially designed “goodbye album”. Everyone can write whatever he wants to say to Brian. This may be a kind of “love story” - how you became a fan of him (we already have several stories from our members), or maybe just a few words of love and support to Brian. Send your letters (in French, English or Russian) to our e-mail:la.maison.de.joubert@gmail.comWe will print the album with your stories and present to Brian in Sochi!We are waiting for your letters and your stories.Thanks in advance to everyone for your response!Team LMDJ.UPD: the deadline for your letters is 25/01/2014

Thats what I wrote... I might change it, I will read it again after a few days... But thats what I felt right now.

Dear Brian,

I guess now you have time for reading. But I still guess you would prefer that we keep it short. However – how to keep short ten years of success, happiness, love and unforgettable moments? That’s what you brought to us, your fans during your career (and I hope that even after it).Dear Brian, you might not care, but the very first interview I made with you (in Budapest 2004, right after you won the European championships) has helped a LOT to start off my career as a journalist. I can’t forget you even if I ever wanted to – everyday when I enter the newsroom I have to remember the times when I was just a journalism student who had dreams and one of those dreams came true that day in Budapest.What I always loved about you is the way how you refuse to give up and how you fight even if the situation looks hopeless. You might think I’m exaggerating but this fighting spirit helped a lot to many of your fans when they had hard times. There were many memorable programs of you I would never forget. The perfect short program in Budapest, when it all started for me. The Matrix. The amazing comeback in Calgary. The three quads in Moscow. The world title. The long program in Göteborg. The amazing comeback in Torino after Vancouver. The long program in Bern. The perfect, awesome, incredible performance in Nice, which still gives me the goosebumps, even if I just think of it.Dear Brian, I hope you will have a nice farewell, a program to remember in Sochi, a perfect skate at the cursed Olympics. But no matter what happens – you already have done enough. Thank you for these amazing years. Good luck to you in the future!Love,
